i got chills.

I know, it's powerful on one level, on just the surface, hearing all of these people chant but it's also powerful because you realize they aren't only trying to silence Wendy Davis - they are trying to silence all of these women - and women in general.

I was so exhausted earlier. Now I am not sure if I will be able to go to sleep for a while!

And now they're defying their own rules and voting on it after midnight anyway. At least that won't hold up to legal scrutiny. >_>

I know. It is so much fuckery I cannot deal. Wendy Davis had to stand for 13 hours, because it was a violation of THE RULES if she didn't but they can vote after midnight. As if 170,000 + people hadn't been watching them.

But, yeah, it should not hold up in court.

I need to go to bed! I really thought that I would have crashed hours ago. But I got caught up with this.
